And...when the 3 million colonists on their way would arrive in less than 5 years, when did they actually leave Mor-tax, the ones who were still on their way? 40 light years doesn't sound like much, but it is an unimaginably very long distance.<br /><br />It would've been interesting too to know/see where Quinn's proposed human "reservations far from his kind" were to be located?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10803742028264276302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163141447241149534.post-64501184011038717342011-01-21T10:06:29.615-08:002011-01-21T10:06:29.615-08:00that's funny... i've seen people reference...that's funny... i've seen people reference this "i am war itself" thing elsewhere... yet, when i watched this episode, once, when i was a kid, i was absolutely sure i heard "I am Mwar Itsoff" as an alien name/title. i've always been inclined toward strange things in language/linguistics, so i guess i'm less likely to automatically convert an unfamiliar sound to something familiar (very common and functional mental processing thing)... then again, i've also been the victim of name mangling by people doing the same after hearing my name, so... heh heh...dysamoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10297987530825303618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163141447241149534.post-48732508532355302922010-02-08T09:28:19.343-08:002010-02-08T09:28:19.343-08:00I heard that as "I am war itself" also, ...I heard that as "I am war itself" also, which certainly makes sense in context.Jimtronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18138709079942253485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163141447241149534.post-56753070143611134502010-02-08T03:25:14.209-08:002010-02-08T03:25:14.209-08:00Oh and when Quinn returns in "My Soul to Keep...Oh and when Quinn returns in "My Soul to Keep"- Colicos was ill (although I don't know if his part was initially larger), and had to be given some Fisherman's lozenges.To Life Immortalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163141447241149534.post-67504329030975069552010-02-08T03:20:29.730-08:002010-02-08T03:20:29.730-08:00Ahhh, yes- Quinn, the alien Iago of WOTW.

He definitely was intended to be a much larger player in the mythology of the show- ultimately, not knowing where he was going to land. <br /><br />There is a scene where Quinn says his name in his native tongue which I had to double-check via closed captioning. At first, I thought he said, "I am war itself!"- nope, he said his name or his rank perhaps, in his native language.<br /><br />Also, according to Herb Wright, Quinn's home away from home, was full of items and things that would play into who he is, and would be further explained.<br /><br />Quinn is just a delight to watch- a true survivor. And he would definitely be making power plays against the Advocacy and humanity by playing all sides against the middle.To Life Immortalnoreply@blogger.com
